Fiat confirms two new small cars
Fiat’s Chief Technology Officer Harald J. Wester has confirmed news that FIAT is developing a new low-cost car.
The new low cost B-compact car, which will replace the Palio family range in world markets, will bridge the gap that has grown up between the A-segment Panda and the B-segment Grande Punto, a divide that has stretched with the upward push achieved by the latter model when it was introduced two years ago. The B-compact model, dubbed as the ‘new Uno’ will spawn a ‘Weekend’ (estate) version.
The second vehicle, tentatively carrying the same “Topolino” name as the concept which previewed the new 500, will be a microcar based on and positioned below the Panda, with both expected to hit the market around late 2009 or early 2010.
Wester also held out that the B-compact model could be launched under a new brand name.
